Default Calibration Of Electronic Equipment In The Home Workshop

Gave us:

You're amazing. You don't even know what equipment, qualifications or needs
he has, yet you're right there with THE answer. Lets take an example. I
have a 20 year old Hitachi scope as you know, the voltage cal is way off
(~20%) in a couple of ranges. Are you suggesting that I should drag it
across town, spend $200 and be without it for 2 weeks just to get it
adjusted by some obstinate, E-1 grade line tech, instead of using a brand
new DMM w .03% accuracy to tweak it myself? I'm quite sure that my Micronta
is up to the task to be honest.



You are to be disappointed. The scale dial on that scope is likely
fitted with resistors, and one of them has shifted, which shifts all
the dividers on the dial below it.

It is not a calibration issue. It is a repair issue.

So shove it up your ass, you E-1 grade dip****.

Your micronta? Bwuahahahahahah!
